AHIS_MIN - Art History Minor

The art history minor consists of 6 courses and is intended to give students a broad introduction to a wide range of objects, periods, and styles, while encouraging them to pursue further study within a field of their choice.

The required courses include one 100-level course in the Western survey sequence (AHIS 101 or 102), one course in non-Western art (100-level or above), and four courses at the 200-level or above. Of these four courses, at least one must be a 300-level seminar.

Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP examination are exempt from the Western survey course (100-level) requirement, but still need to take six courses.

Courses that count toward the major and minor must earn grades of C- or better in these courses. No more than two courses may be counted from Study Abroad courses and are subject to approval by the student's minor adviser.

For students pursuing a minor in architectural studies, no more than two courses may be shared between the art history and architectural studies minor. For more information, students should contact the minor coordinator Professor Michael FitzGerald.
